I suggest you ask in the tech room forum-they should know more, but from what I know your probably as set as you can be-long barrel and scope erm, just make sure your air system gives you the same constant pressure (as constant as poss) so that your paint doesn't start dropping so you can perfect your skills.
It got alot to do with having a good barrel to paint match. For example if your barrel is too big a bore size for the paint your using then your accuracy will be effected. the same goes if its too tight. If you have a selection of pipes to chose from try taking a paint ball and testing it for the best fit you will notice the difference. Thats why alot of us use the freak or pipe barrel systems because you have different bore sizes to choose from so you can get the best fit possible. Also you tend to find that no paint ball will ever travel perfectly strait simply because most paint apart from the expensive stuff is not perfectly round or may have flat spots. This effects the airodynamics of the ball and cause them to vere off, the pipe selection just reduces this.
Hope this helps and wasn't too boring

Buy decent paint........ you'll be amazed at the difference the minute you start firing the good stuff.
make sure the paint doesnt roll down the barrel (ex. tiny little diablo blaze, in a stock spyder barrel, is not a good mach
If you have the August copy of PGI, Robbo goes over this at the back.
If not, as mentioned, a good paint/batrrel match is important.
The next thing is the consistency of your air system...CO2 is not consistent...a good quality regulator on your Airsystem will give consistently similar velocities, which means that the paintball will hit much the same place, theoretically.....basically, if you have a full chamber of air before you pull the trigger, the paintball will go a certain distance...next time it might have only 80% of the previous volume in the chamber, so less air to push the ball, the ball goes a shorter distance. Then you have wind etc to take in to consideration, but that comes with experience.
Dont go thinkng you need a long barrel. You only need 6 inches of barrel to accellerate a paintball, the rest of it is make it quiet.
If the barrel is too long it will need more air to push the ball up at the required velocity, if it has lots of pretty holes drilled in it, this has the same effect-tho makes the shot quieter.
You can test this by chrono-ing a marker with a long barrel, then stick a short barrel on and see the velocity go up.
so: Good paint
Good fit between barrel and paint
Good consistent air system
Good barrel.
The only side to this is Tipmanns flatline barrel which is bent in order to impart backspin on the ball, making it travel further.
Hope this helps.
